IPL 2021: Former fast bowler Dale Steyn said that Virat Kohli may have "extinguished some fires" before they happened by stepping down as captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Former South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn said that Virat Kohli may have "extinguished some fires" before they happened by deciding to step down as Royal Challengers Bangalore's (RCB) captain at the end of this IPL season. Kohli made the announcement on Sunday, thus calling time on his captaincy that began in 2011.
"He may be just trying to put out and extinguish some fires before they happened, having relinquished the Indian captaincy. If he had two or three bad scores in the next couple of games people might start questioning whether he should give up the RCB captaincy too. So before that even comes into question, he may have decided that let me just say that this is also part of my thinking," Steyn said on ESPNCricinfo. "I've never been a captain so I don't actually know."
